TickerOps Setup Guide

Install

1. Download the current beta package.
2. Extract the zip file to a normal local folder.
3. Right-click TickerOps.exe.
4. Choose Run as administrator.
5. Approve the Windows permission prompt.

TickerOps opens stopped. Nothing routes until your license is active and routing is armed.

Activate

1. Open the Help tab.
2. Paste your beta license key.
3. Click Activate.
4. Confirm the license card shows active.

Saved keys are masked after activation, so users can switch keys without exposing the full license key.

OCR Check

TickerOps checks OCR requirements at startup. OCR powers scanner, static click, and chat reading.

1. If OCR is missing, open Help.
2. Find OCR Engine.
3. Click Install OCR.
4. Restart TickerOps after installing.
5. Click Recheck OCR.

Smart Scanner Connector

The TickerOps Connector helps supported scanner websites read faster and more accurately than OCR.

Stable scanner support is available for Day Trading Strategies. Stock Trading Playground scanner support is currently under beta testing.

1. Open Chrome.
2. Go to chrome://extensions.
3. Turn on Developer mode in the top right.
4. Click Load unpacked.
5. Select the browser_extension folder inside your TickerOps beta folder.
6. Open the scanner website in Chrome.
7. Open TickerOps, then open Diagnostics.
8. Smart Scanner should show the connector is active.

If it does not show active, make sure the scanner page is open in Chrome, the extension is enabled, and then refresh the scanner page.

If the connector is inactive, TickerOps falls back to OCR. OCR still works, but the connector is the preferred path for supported scanner pages.

The connector only talks to TickerOps on your own computer through 127.0.0.1. It is not a broker login, trading login, or cloud sync.

Broker Setup

Open Thinkorswim, Webull, Robinhood, or any supported broker combination before arming routing.

When clicking inside one broker, TickerOps should route to the other enabled broker targets instead of changing the broker you clicked. Always verify the destination chart and symbol before acting.

Monitor Setup

1. Open the Monitors tab.
2. Click Refresh.
3. Disable any monitor TickerOps should ignore.
4. Click Identify to show monitor numbers on screen.

Disabled monitors are ignored for scanner, static, and chat reading.

Capture Zones

1. Open Capture Zones.
2. Click Create Region.
3. Draw around the scanner or chat list with padding on every side.
4. Name the region clearly, such as Top 20 Gainers.
5. Save the region.

Do not make the box tight. Extend the capture region before the ticker column, past the last visible column, above the header, and below the final row.

Moving scanner and chat zones are handled differently from static pages, so capture zones matter.

Arm Routing

1. Open Ops.
2. Turn on Scanner, Static, and/or Chat.
3. Open Routes and confirm your broker targets.
4. Click Arm Routing.

When running, the button should show Refresh. Click Kill Routing to stop helper services.

Quick Test

1. Open the broker chart targets you enabled, such as Thinkorswim, Webull, or Robinhood.
2. Arm routing.
3. Click a ticker in a scanner region.
4. Confirm the enabled broker chart changes.
5. Click a ticker on a website or broker page with Static enabled.
6. Confirm only the correct opposite broker changes when clicking inside a broker.

After this quick test passes, run the full Beta Test Checklist so support reports include the right details if anything misses.

Troubleshooting

License is locked

Open Help, check the license, and reactivate if needed.

OCR is missing

Use Help > OCR Engine, install OCR, restart, then recheck.

Webull routes to the top search bar

Recalibrate the Webull chart location in Routes.

Robinhood does not change charts

Recalibrate the Robinhood target in Routes and keep Robinhood Legend visible on the chart workspace.

Scanner clicks are wrong

Refresh or recreate the capture zone and keep TickerOps from covering the scanner.

Nothing routes

Confirm the app is armed, the source checkbox is enabled, the broker is open, and the license is active.

Need to send an issue

Open Diagnostics, add a short note, and send a support report from inside TickerOps.
